Quality

At Ristretto, we believe that working in a mobile environment shouldn’t prevent us from providing coffee of the very highest quality. To maintain our exacting standards, we go through a rigorous testing and blending process each year to develop our signature coffee blends.

The process starts with sampling the new crops available each season. We then taste, trial and blend until we are happy that the result will provide the best quality espresso possible.  All of our coffees are from exceptional crops – but some are in limited supply.  As a result, this year’s coffee blend may not exactly match last year’s – but every year’s will be exceptional.

Traceability

At Ristretto we insist that all of the coffees we sample when developing our espresso blends are traceable, all the way back to the farmer who produced them. We also ensure that for all of the coffees we use, the farmer has received a price that exceeds the Fairtrade price.

Many of the coffees we use have been sourced through the Cup of Excellence programme, which provides direct reward to the farmers for their pursuit of excellent coffee.

Please contact us for more information about our Signature blend, our Fairtrade blend or a particular blend or flavour profile that you would like us to use for your event
